JP still doesn't have a Starbucks, but it could soon get a coffee bar

The high-end coffee place is proposed by Maks Milstein, who owns Brookline's Cafe Fixe. Milstein used to be a lawyer, but got hooked on coffee brewing as a hobby and eventually decided to abandon the law for the bean.

Board hearings begin at 10 a.m. in its eighth-floor hearing room in City Hall.

The proposed site is 2 blocks north of JP Licks, which for my money is probably the best coffee you can get in Boston. Maybe they don't primarily identify as a coffee joint, but between that and City Feed across the street, JP doesn't suffer from lack of coffee options on that part of Centre Street.

that I'm representing in Jamaica Plain would like to have a coffee shop as a tenant in his newly renovated building and I think that it'd be a good location for one since there is a ton of traffic on Heath Street and there is no competition near that location.
